CBT Self Help and Recommendations

By Toni Cairns Abstract Distraxtions

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy 

One of the most important factors in physical, psychological and physiological health care is understanding the importance of engaging in human social interactions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. 

CBT aims to help people become aware of when they make negative interpretations in their thinking processes, and when they carry out behavioral patterns which reinforce their distorted thinking. 

CBT is a practical problem-solving approach. By recognising problem areas, talking therapies help people develop alternative ways of thinking and behaving which aims to reduce their psychological distress and change the way they feel.  

Help

Speak to a qualified healthcare professional of you feel CBT could benefit your mental health and overall well being. 

Local NHS services maybe available in your area that you can do a self referral for help. 

Fur example in Suffolk, UK we have the well being service. 

Many great books available and lots of information online for self learning. 

We have the power inside ourselves to change our ways of thinking and behaviour, we just have to spend some time out practising. 

The thought of speaking with someone can be daunting, but why prevent yourself from doing something that could revolutionise your everyday life and overall level of well-being and happiness.

A Child And Technology An Opinion

By Toni Cairns Abstract Distraxtions
A parenting group on social media was discussing the affects of today's modern technology upon our young children.  I commented: A very debatable subject. Careful adult responsibility is required to ensure settings are right, security is set, & supervision is offered. The choices parents & caregivers make of what the children can do on a tablet should be carefully considered beforehand & time limits should be set & adhered to. Imho tablets should not go in a childs bedroom & sleep space, but I also know there are special circumstances when a child having a tablet in the bedroom is beneficial overall to the both the child & the family (for example a child with Autism). The old saying goes 'u can have too much of a good thing', tablets are fun & have many interactive ways to aid a child's learning, development & creativity. However too much tablet time can interfere with a child's physical well-being & social development. So in an i
